I too have started thinking about Christmas for my Grandchildren. Have come to the conclusion that the safest gift for a teen is MONEY! That takes care of the two oldest. (13, 17) The littlest grandson (5) is my BIGGEST problem, he has an imagination that is beyond that of a 5yr. old! He has a room full of toys, yet prefers playing in the garage where all the “junk” is stored, where he digs through it until he finds enough to invent “something”.

His most recent invention was a time machine and trash compactor! My daughter has to take the trash out while he’s sleeping or else he stops her to make sure she isn’t throwing away something useful! His pockets are always full of “cool things he can use for his inventions” .
